The story goes like this: my Xiaomi phone had gone bonkers, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 phone which I had been using before the Xiaomi phone, was called into active service, after it was stood down in January 2015. But due to mishandle, the Note 2 was fried.

My Uncle gave his Samsung GT-I8150 to me to use. I was unable to use this phone to surf the net, despite countless times trying to figure out the phone’s settings. The problem was getting frustrating.

By God’s timing, a few days ago, my buddies , Dani, David and me were having dinner together. David started talking about Raspberry Pi, wifi, server, Access Point (AP). This triggered me asking Dani for help to set up my GT-I8150 to surf the net. Dani then shared these “magic” words “mobile internet settings” to me. Google did its job.

The pictures below detail the steps taken.

Praise the Lord for fellowship with my brothers, just by being together out gains the things we learn.
